Ambidextrous. My handwriting is better with my right hand, but I think that’s mostly a matter of practice.

Ambidextrous.

You clever girl. You are well balanced! I think that the reason that many lefties are so clever about figuring out methods for accomplishing things (like intricate sewing -- or my husband's inventions) is because they are raised in a world where most tools are made for right handed people.

My PhD level engineer son was not recommended for advancement to a regular 1st grade because he failed some "test" devised by his kindergarten teacher. When I inquired about this "test", I was told it was because he couldn't cut out a circle with scissors. I asked if he had right handed scissors, or left handed scissors. You know the answer.

There were 12 boys who were recommended to go to a special 1st grade where they wouldn't be taught to read in the normal time frame. Guess what? 11 of the 12 were left handed boys! Mine was sent to Catholic school where Sr. Julianne had him reading the San Francisco Chronicle by Christmas. In the spring of the year he won the Science Fair for the whole school.
